《The Greek Apocalypse Volume 1: Sweat, Blood & magic》Chapter 6: : A Friends Morning
Advertisement
Waking up in a cool room John stretch himself up, getting out of the king size bed, he gets the remote for the air condition pressing the button to close it, starting to leave the room he notices that the sound of the condition closing didn’t come, pressing again nothing happen, taking a looking up he notice that it hasn’t any power, pressing the light switches for the lights and sees no response, realizing what happens he gets out of his room to the three room apartment, raising the shutters of his apartment on the 4th floor, his hit by the warm light of the day.
Making a cup of coffee Jonh takes a seat on the couch, picking up the phone from the coffee table trying to open it but nothing happens, remembering that at the night it had 65% of battery. [Something is wrong] he thought. Going into his room to check his laptop, trying to open it up he is hit again by the same problem, it didn’t have any battery making sure that something is wrong, getting to the balcony he takes a look around to find that the streets were empty, more empty than normal, at this early time of the day the streets were empty except of the few cars and people that passed, his apartment was looking at the main road of Katerini, waiting for a minute for someone to pass but nobody not a car, not a person, the bakery that was always open before he was awake is closed. Something for sure was wrong.
Getting inside of his apartment, John takes a seat on his three person couch, going around his apartment to check all his devices that have a battery, but he finds that they don’t work anymore. He started thinking what could it be [are we in war and Katerini was hit with E.M.P. even if that happened someone should have been outside] getting to the balcony to make sure that nobody was outside, looking at the street again he finds again nobody was there, waiting for the possibility of someone passing. After some time of waiting he hears a sound from his left side, noticing something moving in the corner of the street, John moved closer to the street corner from his balcony, the movements were from a trash can shaking, the movements were unnatural to a point that someone was making it, the shaking continued but he could not see who was doing it, he was waiting for the person that is doing it to stop, but it continued resigning that it will not stop soon John headed inside, before he closed the window, a scream broke the silence that was stagnated for some time, from the right side of the street, he sees two people running away from a giant bug, the scene was terrifying the party of one male and one female run like they never run but their escape from it was futile, like a wolf hunting his prey it followed them and it was faster than them. Probably understanding that the female stopped, seeing that the male did the same, the female prepared for a fight using her hands to guard herself, the bug didn’t stop it charged like a crazed bull to the closer victim, that was by chance the female maybe it was fate or bad luck but she was the target, the bug point his pincers that were like a bear trap it opened enough to have a gap and charged, they penetrated her body with a splatter of blood it washed the face of the bug, the attack was clean it hit her and went through like a hot knife cutting butter, she didn’t have any chance, she was now on the ground screaming her feet had didn't have enough strength to hold her up anymore, she was still alive unfortunately but for not for much longer, because the bug started snapping his pincer until the female stop moving. The male that was behind her was frozen he looked like a Greek statue, he had stopped moving probably from shock realizing what happened John yelled

Waking up the man looked at John his eye were shining they were filled with hope, he started running towards the building. John went inside, taking the key to open the doors he started running, getting to the entrance he unlocks the door, waiting for the man to come but he never did because when he looked outside, there was nobody except of a corpse of the male that was face down to the ground been chewed by a second bug that came out of nowhere, John closed the door turning his back on the street he raised his body through the stairs depressed.
Reaching the apartment, closing the door John started preparing to leave getting some food to his backpack some first aid kit products and his phone in hope he can fix it. Ravaging through the kitchen to get a big knife, getting to the balcony he looks to find the perfect moment to leave, looking again at the trash can that was shaking he notice finally what it was, it was a bug trying to get inside it. Waiting for the perfect time to live his apartment so he was not attacked by any bug, but every hour it passed more people died, he yelled for them to come to him but in their panic they didn’t notice or couldn’t reach the apartment before they were attacked, feeling more and more depressed about his failure to save anyone, he waited for the perfect moment to come and it at the middle of noon, he got out of his apartment, sneaking away from the central road that was filled with the dead bodies that are been used to feed bugs, sticking his body in the wall he started running towards his friend house, it was 2 minute of running continually, reaching Nikos home he notices that the shutters were down, smiling because his friend probably was still alive, opening the outside door John stopped and took some breaths he was covered with sweat from running and was tired but he was happy, reaching the Nikos entrance door he knocks and yells .

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
